proof off what exactly ??I had the booster today and I think I'm going to die, so there you have it.
Proof.

a friend of mine was declared brain dead family gave permission for organ harvest . So around 12 hours later Wheeled down to surgery family said their goodbyes at operating theatre doors and were told they would be informed in the morning exact time of death when everything turned off .Only when supported by life-support systems.
Remove those systems and heartbeat and breathing will cease.


You have done this???Did you know that if you put a mass of shredded up rat's heart in a petri dish with nutrient, first you notice twitching. If you leave it alone, it'll be pulsing together as one, all by itself. Spooky.
My son and his lady had that experience with a baby a couple of weeks ago. If I remember correctly the baby took ~16hr to die. It had been on drugs and life support for nearly a week. One of them held the baby all of the time.she actually died around 36 hours later after being disconnected from life support
Hearts can do that I think. Funny muscle. Did you know that if you put a mass of shredded up rat's heart in a petri dish with nutrient, first you notice twitching. If you leave it alone, it'll be pulsing together as one, all by itself. Spooky.
It must have been very traumatic.My son and his lady had that experience with a baby a couple of weeks ago. If I remember correctly the baby took ~16hr to die. It had been on drugs and life support for nearly a week. One of them held the baby all of the time.
